Meet the parents!

Magpiestar - She/her, Trans Woman

The previous Aphidclan leader before Pearlstar! She is Pearlstar’s mother and mates with Glacierlion. She lost her final life shortly after the collapse of the Metalden, due to the sudden plague of mysterious sicknesses that came up after the catastrophic event. She was a respectable and responsible leader (much more responsible than her son), kind, reliable, and now dutifully watches over all the fallen Aphidclan cats in Starclan.

Glacierlion - He/him, Cis Man

Aphidclan went through many deputies during the fallout of the Metalden’s collapse. Glacierlion was deputy before the fallout, and he was the first to die. He’s mates with Magpiestar and father to his only son, Pearlstar. Pearlstar got a lot of his goofy attitude from him. He was a prankster even into his old age, but when it came to taking care of his wife, his family, and his clan, he was as serious as could be. (Though, there is a reason that Magpiestar was in charge of most of the leadership, while he was not lol).

Cherryglove - They/she, Nonbinary

Cherry is the surrogate mother of Pearlstar, though she didn’t raise him, and they don’t consider themself to be part of stars family any more than just being Glacierlion and Magpiestar’s friend. They were nervous and distrustful by disposition, but kind. They succumbed to sickness soon after the collapse of the Metalden.

Daisydawn - She/her, Trans Woman

Goldshine’s mother! Mate to Falconchaser, and a good childhood friend of Paradiseskies’. She was a very sweet and doting mother, silly and fun. Paradiseskies tried her best to save her, before the two of them both succumbed to sickness in the fallout of the Metalden. She and Falconchaser were very happy together. She’s proud to be a grandmother now, watching her grandbabies grow up from Starclan.

Falconchaser - She/her, Cis Woman (Butch)

Mates with Daisydawn, mother of her only son Goldshine, Falconchaser was the deputy after Glacierlion, easily. Named for her bold, undefeatable courage, Falconchaser rushed head-first into danger and took on any threat, no matter what the cost. And, unfortunately, one day that cost ended up being her life, when a hunting trip into the factories the humans had recently and swiftly abandoned turned out to be more…unstable and dangerous, than she had initially expected. She later succumbed to her wounds, given to her by the faulty, unmanned machinery.

All of these characters, along with Blisswhistle’s siblings, Firebeetle’s relatives, and any of the previous members that once populated Aphidclan’s ranks, are all deceased. After the Metalden collapsed, Pearlstar, Blisswhistle, Goldshine, and Firebeetle were the only survivors that remained.

I wonder where’s Lilacpaw been through all this?

[aphidclan-clangen]

Oh oh I have one! Ollie, what's that around your neck? Could you tell us about how you got it? Or perhaps any stories you have that you're willing to share?

oh sweetheart no,,, you poor boy,,,

[aphidclan-clangen]

Paradisesky do you believe your a good cat? That you're where you're meant to be?

Been saving this ask for a loooong while, now I finally know what to do with it

“I know it’s right for me / It’s the only thing I’ve ever (I’ve never) done, / What if I never see myself ever be anything more than what I’ve already become? / I need a bad idea, just one

Heart keep racing, let’s make mistakes / Let us say ‘so what?’ and make worse what was already pretty bad / This secret is safe, no reason to throw it away, when there’s love to be had!

Hold me tight as I tell myself that you might make sense / And make good what has just been so bad…

Let’s see this through… / Its a pretty good bad idea, me and you.”

I know this might be a weird Question BUT:

What exactly Is Gravel's Position In the Saint Tines? The cats who Ambushed Her and FireBeetle referred to her as Sister, with Gravel Refering to herself as 'the Reverend's greatest soldier'. Is she like a former military leader of some kind or is it something completely Different?

Just curious!

does Rye (or any of the living, for that matter) know where Spiderglade is? It seems that the spirit realm's machinations and functions are unknown to most.

(As for gameplay, is Spiderglade an actual cat within the game, or like the Reverend in function?)

I don’t…think they do? I used to have it written down that Bliss knew where he was, and as a healer, bug could visit her in her dreams, and bug would often pop into rais sleep just to bug her and just be a big, friendly nuisance of an older brother to rainbow. But I’ve since changed that, since it makes more lore and plot sense for Aphidclan to not actually know very much about Spiderglade’s past and the Saint Tines, and I feel like if he could speak to them, he would at least warn them of the threat and tell them what’s up. So no, at this present point in time, they don’t even know that Spiderglade is dead. One day, a looong time ago, like when Bliss was still either a kitten or a young apprentice, he left in the middle of the night and never came back. They have no clue what happened to him, where bug went, whether bugs alive, or where bug rests in the afterlife. Rye and Gravel were former Saint Tines, so they know he’s dead, because they both witnessed his death firsthand. They don’t have any knowledge of the afterlife, though. They grew up with different beliefs for what happens when you die.

I think Paradiseskies’s visits to Pearlstar and Blisswhistle are few and far between, just like in the books. But even then, she’s kept Spiderglade’s fate a secret for a while. Pearlstar doesn’t know.

For gameplay, yes, Spiderglade is indeed a real cat! A dead one, too. He was one of my founder cats from the start of the game, that I killed off before beginning my run. Currently Oleander and the Reverend are the only characters in the cast that don’t exist in the game.

Here he is!

[aphidclan-clangen]

Hello Oleander! If I may ask, who exactly are you?

Ollie uses he/they/fae/fern/wilt pronouns!
